Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) in concentrations from 48 to 32,500 cells per gram of powdered infant milk were found in 18 out of 51 investigated samples. More than 10,000 cells per gram were present in four samples. Such concentrations mean that one package of milk contains 5 million MAP cells, which are ingested by a bottle-fed baby over the course of several days.
